It started mainly because I ‘lived in’ since childhood, having my father working in comics and illustration and further because, thanks to my father, I discovered and I felt in love with the work of American artists such as Neal Adams or John Buscema.

2)We know that you usually deal with Comix for both Italian and Amercan publishers. Do you want to explain if there is any difference between Italy and abroad?

Assuming that my collaborations both Italian and foreign publishers are as novice with so-called "Indye", my intent is first of all to the so-called ranks and get myself know by larger publishers, the difference between the two companies is only visibility America 's largest country and also working with publishers Indye have more visibility than in Italy.

It is usually getting the script, which is sometimes a plot divided by pages which describes what happens in the whole page or it is a detailed European script. Once you read the script you begin to sketch out the pages and look up reference material. Next step in to define in detail the individual vignettes in pencil and, depending on the pages I have to ink or not, the finish and give more information if I like the ink to call the righteous, and finish all at once.

6) You worked also for moves: pre-visualization, storyboards, speed painting. Would you talk about it? What differences have you noticed with the world the comics?

Firstly the timing, although in some ways the two worlds are similar for instance for the pre-production, the storyboard has very tight deadlines: you have a work in the evening for the day after, because you work in contact with the director, in post production; the thing is different, there are deadlines taken upstream of the schedule and you have to continue with those ones.

8) Do you have plans for the future? Without of course revealing confidentiality agreements, give us some preview news.

There is one of my creator owned projects for the market of American comics titled The Black Spirall, a horror set in Rome, the publisher will probably change and I'm looking for another one, for now the only number released is the 0 for Approbation Comics. I'm waiting for the outcome of various tests done on several areas.

9) Can you tell us a funny or sad episode that happened to you during your activities of digital artist?

Well, a funny episode was when John Buscema, a legendary artist of Marvel's Conan, came in Italy, Rome, in 1998. He was invited in a comic book store for three days, where everyone could do questions and ask for designs ... I obviously went there all the three days. I was surprised to find in front of me a legend of comics, but he look like a grandfather who tells his grandson... He told me one thousand anecdotes, made ​​jokes and was an especially playful person! My father asked John a drowing, and he made a vase with a flower .. because he said "you asked me to draw what I want and I did it!". It was a fantastic experience. I found a man so professional and yet so humble and today this is so rare!

11) We givew you our best wishes for your work and now with the last question you have the chance to say what you like, maybe get a bit of ad about yourself... a free question like at school.

Meanwhile, thank you for the nice interview and willingness! Since my most assiduous and current collaboration is with the The Virus Comix (http://viruscomix.ning.com) if you are interested in horror stories you can find there some very interesting ones and besides me, there are other talented artists both Italian and not.
